Send him off! Torres wants Howard Webb to show
O'Shea a red card
Manchester United's John O'Shea escaped calls for a red card
after bringing down the Liverpool hitman during yesterday's
pulsating clash.
Following United's 3-2 win, boss Fergie fumed: "I have watched
it again and Torres made an absolute meal of it to try and get the
player sent off."
Roy Hodgson, the Liverpool manager — whose side have won just
once in their first five league games — refused to be drawn on the
matter, suggesting he hadn’t had a clear view of the incident.
He said: ‘Some of my coaches were jumping up and down but I
didn’t have a great view. Sir Alex was closer to it. but I must say
I didn't think the player should have been sent off."
'I thought the referee had a good game. Sir Alex is entitled to
his opinion but I prefer to talk about things that interest me. I
am not a fan of game saying.
United were cruising at 2-0 up thanks to Dimitar Berbatov's
double strike.
But after 64 minutes Torres was fouled by Jonny Evans to earn a
penalty, which Steven Gerrard knocked in.
Six minutes later Torres went down under O'Shea's challenge on
the edge of the area - earning the United man a booking - and
Gerrard scored from the free kick.
But Berbatov completed his hat-trick in the 84th minute to give
United a thrilling victory.
